Sample Splitters

Large and small

Precision Riffle splitters with controlled sample discharge

Available with 3 mm to 20 mm slots width, specified by the client or selected from recommended standard sizes. Standard sizes conform to the Australian Standard AS 1141.2-1999 & ISO 3082:1998(E)

The splitters are separable. The slots width and quantity can be adjusted to suit laboratory requirement. Design of the slot protecting lining is covered by Patent N°2010100147.

Splitters are made from Stainless Steel with an electro polishing finish. They are suitable for Food, Pharmaceutical and Geotechnical laboratories.

Splitters feature two dust hoods to minimise dust pollution when operated and a swivelled carrying handle. The swivelled handle provides for extra comfort when shifting the unit around the premises.

The dust hoods are conveniently hinged and allow for easy inspection of the riffles to check for blockages. By lifting the dust hood the operator has clear access to quickly rectify this type of problem.

Below is the splitting ratio test of the 16 x 13 mm Precision Riffle Splitter, conducted at Sibelco Australia Limited, South Australia. The testing personnel filled the hopper and proceeded to weigh the material from 3 splits of progressively less material. The results are as follow:

	Left tray (g)	Right tray (g)	Total (g)	% Left Tray	% Right Tray
Split 1	3047	3059	6106	49.90	50.10
Split 2	1527	1530	3057	49.95	50.05
Split 3	764	765	1529	49.97	50.03

Here is another test done at the same laboratory after using one of our splitters for a while

Dear Igor,

I did a test on one of the splitters you made for us. I chose the one that has done the most work. Below are the results from the testing for your reference. There is a little bit of variation but nothing that concerns us.

We have been very happy with the splitters. I would certainly be happy to act as a reference if you ever need that.

Regards,
Daniel Maluga

Three-Tiered Precision Riffle Splitter

An ME&QC exclusive: this Three-tiered splitter is designed for use in laboratories. Ideal for projects where large quantities or big samples need to be reduced in size quickly.

The splitter incorporates all the best in development of a Single tier Precision Riffle splitter, as described in the section above.

The splitter is made from Stainless Steel with electro-polishing finish. Suitable for Food, Pharmaceutical and Geotechnical laboratories.

 

The riffle splitter is shown with one of the front covers lifted.

Laboratory Riffle Splitters welded. (Slot Width from 6 mm to 12 mm)

Main features of the splitters are:

• Deep loading bunker which eliminates accidental spillage of the sample over the side of the splitter.
  
  
• Does not require special trays to contain samples. In fact, most of the containers purchased off the shelf will do the job.
  
  
• One support frame will fit for a range of splitters.
  
  
• The size of the unit is convenient for handling. In other words it is not too small as to be uncomfortable to work with.
  
  
• The splitter is made of Stainless Steel SS-316, with electro polish finish. The support frame is made of aluminium plate, with powder coat finish.
  
  

  The support frame can be made out of Stainless Steel if required.

  The unit is perfect to use when it comes to split small batches of different material samples.

  Optional features:

  1. Dust hood can be incorporated into design upon request.
  2. Special purposes trays are available.

Large Riffle Splitters. (20 mm to 60 mm slot width)

Main features of the splitters are:

• Dust hood and fully covered receiving trays eliminate the excessive dust pollution when operated.
  
  
• Special provision is made in the design to handle tipping over heavy loads, hence increasing the accuracy of the split.
  
  
• Supplied with three trays.
  
  
• Removable dividing head. Once the head is worn out it can be replaced without the need to buy a whole Riffle Splitter anew.
  
  
• One support frame will fit for a range of splitters.
  
  
• The sizes of the slots for different dividing heads are conforming to
  ISO 3082:1998(E) Standard.
  
  
• The splitter is made of Stainless Steel SS-316, with electro polish finish. The support frame is made of Mild Steel, with powder coat finish.

  The support frame can be made out of Stainless Steel if required.

Two-Tiered Splitter

 

An ME&QC exclusive, this two-tiered splitter is designed for use in the field or in the lab. Ideal for drilling projects where large quantities or big samples need to be reduced in size quickly.

The front dust hood is hinged. That allows for easy inspection of the riffles. It is although convenient in case of riffles are getting blocked. By lifting the hood an operator gets clear access to the riffles. That makes rectifying a problem and cleaning between samples a snap.

Standard configuration of the splitting heads is 14 x 30 mm. The width and quantity of the slots can be specified by a customer. Available slot widths are 20mm, 25mm, 30mm and 35mm.

The riffle splitter is made out of Stainless Steel with electro polishing finish. Suitable for Food, Pharmaceutical, Geotechnical laboratories and field work.

Micro Riffle Splitters

 

Available with 16 slots, 3mm slot width.

The splitters are made from stainless steel with an electro polishing finish. They are suitable for Food, Pharmaceutical, Metallurgical, Geotechnical laboratories.

The splitters feature two dust hoods to minimise dust pollution when operated.

The dust hoods are conveniently hinged and allow for easy inspection of the riffles and to check for blockages. By lifting the dust hood the operator has clear access to quickly rectify this type of problem.
